What is your favorite movie? My favorite movie is Edward Scissor Hands. The main actor is Johnny Depp. He's my favorite actor too! The story goes like a modern day fairy tale which tells the story of Edward, a man created by an inventor who died before finishing him and left him with scissors where he should have hands. One day when the local "Avon Lady" (Avon representative) calls at the historic mansion where he has been living alone, she takes him home to stay with her family. He has to adapt to the new life and environment that he isn't used to. Soon he shows a talent in cutting hair and hedges and wins every body's heart. But life isn't always so sweet as he had to face the obstacles from the people who make fun of him and starts to create all sorts of troubles for him.

8 Tips to Improve Your English Writing Skills Everyone has a different reason why they need to improve their writing. Maybe you need to improve your writing for work or for your English class at university. Or maybe you want to start a blog about learning English or you need to respond to emails in English for your business. Below are some tips. 1. Keep All of your Writing in One Place Buy a notebook or journal or start an electronic journal. By keeping your writing all in the same place, you will be able to see how much you are improving and keep it organized. 2. Practice Writing in English Daily The importance of writing daily is that you start to create a new habit. Writing every day in English will soon become natural and something you look forward to. You will not see a significant improvement if you are not dedicated to becoming a better writer in English. You cannot create awesome stories and papers if you never try. 3. Pick a Topic and WRITE! Don’t get stuck on figuring out what to write about. You can write about anything. You can write about what you do, things you hear or see, news, or make up a story. 4. Write More than One Draft Draft means a preliminary version of piece of writing. Sometimes, your best writing becomes better after you take a break and work on a second or third draft. When you revise (or rewrite) your work you are often able to get your message across more clearly. You make think of things that you did not think to write in the first draft and you can add it in a later draft. 5. Use Online Resources to Correct your Grammar Yes, grammar is a pain. You don’t need to know everything about English grammar. Use online resources, such as Grammarly, GrammarCheck or GrammarBook.com to help you answer a grammar question when it comes up. You could also switch the spell and grammar check on MS Word, your iPad or Google Doc to check your spelling and grammar in English. 6. Think Outside the Box (or Lines) Don’t write about the same thing every day or you will get bored. Try writing the same story from different perspectives or different tenses. If you are writing a story about a baby that won’t stop crying; first, it could be the mother telling the story; then from the perspective of the baby.. Don’t write about topics in the obvious way. Be creative! 7. Have a Friend Edit Your Writing Having another person read your work helps generate more ideas to better your writing. 8. Find the Best Place for You to Write You should try writing in different places or at different t

My Favorite Urban Words (Slang Words) 1) and then I found five dollars a phrase used at the end of a story that had really no point to be told to someone. used at the end of boring stories to make them seem more interesting and worthwhile. "yesterday i went to the fridge and took out a yogurt but put it back and got an apple instead. ...and then i found 5 dollars." 2) Bae A lover or significant other "Bae, come here so I can kiss you." 3) eargasm The chill down your spine you get when listening to amazing music. "I got an eargasm while listening to Under the Mistletoe by Pentatonix live." 4) get off my planet a nicer way of telling someone "get lost and leave me alone" mom: David, go do your homeowrk, David: get off my planet, i am going to Adam's house. mom: I refuse to help you to save your sinking Titanic 5) Selfie A picture taken of yourself that is planned to be uploaded to Facebook, Myspace or any other sort of social networking website. You can usually see the person's arm holding out the camera in which case you can clearly tell that this person does not have any friends to take pictures of them so they resort to Myspace to find internet friends and post pictures of themselves, taken by themselves. A selfie is usually accompanied by a kissy face or the individual looking in a direction that is not towards the camera. 6) SWAG The most used word in the whole universe. Douche bags use it, your kids use it, your mail man uses it, and your dog uses it. If you got swag, you generally wear those shitty hats side way, and your ass hanging out like a goof cause your pants are half way down your white ass legs. To break down the word, it means (Secretly We Are Gay). It is also a word that means to represent yourself/ the way you represent yourself, baggy clothes, shitty hats, and basically a way to say your afraid to come out of the closet. Assface Magee: I got so much swag 7) lmao Laughing My Ass Off. Used online only. Matt: Bill fell off the horse and injured his pelvis in 6 different places. Joe: LMAO! 8) smh Acronym for 'shake my head' or 'shaking my head.' Usually used when someone finds something so stupid, no words can do it justice. Sometimes it's modified to 'smfh' or 'smmfh' by those that prefer profanity in their internet acronyms. trick1: i got a headache...i hit myself in the head with my knee while trying to do situps. trick2: smh 9) bonkers (adj) crazy, wild "Don't go bonkers!"

My Five Simple Rules 1) Be punctual. Get to the office on or before your shift starts. In order to achieve that, 2) Get proper sleep every night.
